Abstract (en)

A workflow server is provided with, in association with a user management table 100 for managing work items for each user, a list 130 of substitute users for indicating a substitute user for each work or process and a list 140 of users in charge who designates the user as a substitute. When a client terminal user selects a specific user among the users in charge on the list 130, the workflow server checks the power of substitute by referring to the list 140 of substitute users for the selected user, thereby to allow the client terminal user to process a predesignated unprocessed work item instead of the selected user in charge. <IMAGE>
